Just wondering when should some one stop adding performace parts? I have 62k miles so I know that I have lots of time to add, but have seen people adding to trucks with 150k miles. Just wondering when a good time to stop would be for some one who plays a little but mostly drives with ease.

just cause a car/truck says ____ miles on the odometer doesn't really mean much.
I have seen too many engines, drivetrain parts go to **** after only a few thousand miles to rely on the odometer as a truth teller.
My truck just past 90k on it. The engine and internals and overall condition of the truck is in absolutely flawless condition(being 85% or more highway miles froma 50+ yr old guy). I drove over a half dozen of these vortec 4.8 and 5.3 liter trucks before this one, and ALL of them had less miles on the odo.... sure enough, I bought this one since it ran the best and was in the best condition.
It's not just the # of miles it's got on there, more than HOW you actually treat it within those miles you put on it... just something to think about
